AboutTracey Jacquot Expertise I can help answer questions of the Vancouver area of British Columbia, and am an expert on the Sunshine Coast including the communities of Gibsons, Roberts Creek, Sechelt, Pender Harbour, Powell River and Texada Island. I have lived on the Sunshine Coast full time for over 12 years and vacationed here since 1978. I also own a summer home on Texada Island!

Question Planning a road trip from Seattle to Vancouver area. Would like you to suggest the most scenic route and places to stay or towns we should see. This is only a four day trip, and would love to see the beauty of Canada. Thanks for your help.
Answer Hi ther,
Sorry for the delay, I was away. Any how, if you only have 4 days, you are going to be quite rushed. I have done the trip myself.
Once you hit the Canadian border, expect delays if you cross at Peace Arch, I would cross at the aldergrove truck crossing if you can, Peace Arch is under construction.
Once in Aldergrove, heading for Vancouver, Do stop in Fort Langley, exit of the main Hwy, very cute little area to explore. You should also stop on the Washington side and tour the Chuckanut Drive, it is awesome and there are some great restaurants there.
Hope this helps a little, not sure if you will have too much more time for stopping if you want to see Vancouver as well.
In Vancouver, must sees are Stanley Park. Very beautiful.
